Dear Parents/Guardians,
Just 2 weeks left before fall break! Where did the time go?? In today’s packet, you will find your child’s tests for the past week along with a bright yellow note about parent teacher conferences. Please sign and RETURN the conference sheet as soon as possible. I will do my best to work around time conflicts. However, with only limited time slots available, it will be very helpful if you can keep to the proposed time/date. Thank you in advance for being on time to these conferences, as they are only 15 minutes, and are scheduled “back to back.”
PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED COPY OF THE NEW REPORT CARD IN TODAY'S PACKET: This will help you become familiar with the new format prior to meeting for our conference.
READING OLYMPICS UPDATE: I have attached the most recent AR Quiz score list (pink slip) for each student. All students should really have 2 tests completed (or book reports) at this time since. Please remember, each student is responsible for AT LEAST 3 AR quizzes (or book reports) per quarter. Many students have still not taken a test or turned in a book report (for non AR books, or any AR test with a score below 70%).
PLEASE HELP US REACH OUR DIRECT GIVING CAMPAIGN GOAL: Thanks to all families who have already donated to Harelson. It is so exciting for the students to feel like they’re a part of helping our school, and our class is trying to get 100% participation. We are hoping that every family can donate at least $1-5 to help Harelson reach their goal, and help our class reach our goal, too! FYI – The “Keene Kids” have won the participation prize two years in a row, and the kiddos really want to keep that tradition going! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR HELPING SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL! I have extra “Direct Giving” envelopes if you need them, or stop by the office for one!
COMING UP THIS WEEK: All three math classes have moved on to geometry this week. Last week’s Chapter 3 math tests are in today’s packet. Our combined Week3/Week4 DLR test went really well for most students. We are so proud of how hard the students are working. Spelling packets/tests are also proving to be an area of success for many students. Again, students are encouraged to complete one page per day to help avoid last minute work (many students complete this during daily study skills time) and also help build great study habits. Our Water Unit winding down, and we have changed the date of our first big science test to Thursday. Student should be studying their vocabulary flash cards, and their flip book on the 3 stages/forms of water to help prepare for the final unit test. Wednesday, we will be having a fantastic presentation from Tucson Water called “Our Water, Our Future.”
If you have any questions, please email me for the quickest response. You may also send me a note in the agenda. In an emergency, please call the office at 696-6020, as they can reach me during school hours while our class phone is forwarded. Thanks for your support.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Keene and Mrs. DiVetta
